Reply to comment by BendersCasino in A New Leak At Red Hill Dumps Hundreds Of Gallons Of Firefighting Foam by Worldly_Pirate_9817

I also live near an airbase and the water table is totally fucked from PFAS from the firefighting foam.

It was so bad that the air force had to spend about $15 million to create a water treatment plant.

The groundwater is still fucked though. There's no way to get the PFAS out without extracting the water.

Old water pumped out, new water pumped in.

Used to live on a Navy base where this was being done.
